description: Learn how to use Shine Forms' built-in search features to easily find what you're looking for.

Shine Forms lets you easily find items by typing into "find boxes".  As these find boxes take up some screen space, we hide them by default and they appear when you use the `Ctrl + F` [keyboard shortcut](https://www.shineforms.co.uk/docs/keyboard-shortcuts#general).

To make that easier, we have now added a button to show or hide the find box.  Press it once to show then press it again to hide!

If you prefer to always show the find boxes, you can tell Shine Forms to do that by ticking the setting in **General** section of [Shine Forms Options](https://www.shineforms.co.uk/docs/options#shine-forms-options):
